Welcome to genfind.org

This international site is designed by Liv Marit Haakenstad to help persons living in English-speaking countries find their Norwegian family's genealogy and stories, particularly involving relatives who emigrated to North America. The site also aids Norwegians in finding the descendants/stories of their North American immigrant relatives.

You will find useful information to help you trace your ancestral lines, both in Norway and in early Norwegian-American settlements in the United States and Canada. Some information on Norwegian genealogy is also avaliable at a our blog.

In the course of your research, you may learn not only who your ancestors were, but also, if they emigrated, why they might have done so, how they managed and afforded the adventure, and why they chose to live where they did in North America. You may also learn about the relatives left in Norway and may find some cousins you didn't know you had.
